An Inconvenient Truth…..You're Wrong AL

I can’t help but respond after reading what he recently said:

But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands. We could instead celebrate the naysayers who had doggedly persisted in proving that every major National Academy of Sciences report on climate change had simply made a huge mistake.

Who is the criminal here? The people or Old Al himself? I have done my part in recycling. I don’t pretend that it is not a responsibility of everyone to do this. Just look at Korea, they have workers that sift through trash just to make sure that recyclables don’t make it to the land fill. I once visited a friend living there and they showed me their trash can, an old coffee can sitting by the sink. That was it!! Everything else they had could be recycled….

Now as for global warming.

I live in the Deep South and we have had the first measurable snow fall in as long as I could remember. I am not saying this is proof against, but it seems that the global warming fad is falling apart at the seams. Why is it that every dis-proven fact Al has proposed in his documentary, has not seen the light of day? Why is he still the focus of the MSM and an indisputable informant on global warming? If anyone else had made these claims and thumbed their noses at the TRUE science they would have been torn apart. Just because he is an educated man does not mean he isn’t wrong…

I was a kid, in the 70s, when we were worried about the next ice age. I remember my mother was so worried about it and did not know what my future held. But, now with global warming and the seas rising.. Burning alive and drowning, what could scare people more? Looks like they are try to appeal to our inner most fears. Unfortunately/fortunately they don’t have the science to back it up as yet. What is the next big scare, are aliens are going to fly down from Mars and suck our brains out? Give it up and stop trying to scare the entire population of the earth just to line your pockets. Have you no shame? If you were right you would be spending every penny in your pocket to put the word out. Instead you are putting every penny IN your pocket and hiding from the truth.

Am I saying that is what he is doing? Well, you need to be the judge of that. All I can say is he has accumulated quite a bit of wealth on his carbon offsets.

Speaking of carbon offsets. Does this mean that we will be charged every time we breathe? Can we take into account the absorbsion that the trees and grass have on our breathing? If I live in the city will I have to pay more than the people who live in the country? They have more grass and trees so their carbon foot print will be less than mine.. What If I promise only to exhale when I am next to a tree or on the grass? Will I get credit for that?

Just look at the desperation in these following quotes concerning health care and global warming. Is this the same as shouting fire in a movie theater?

"Time is up," she said. "We really have to go forth." Nancy Pelosi (Note: Who’s time is up?)

We have overcome existential threats before. Winston Churchill is widely quoted as having said, “Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes, you must do what is required.” Now is that time. Public officials must rise to this challenge by doing what is required; and the public must demand that they do so — or must replace them. Al Gore (Note: Al was replaced)

Do I believe in global warming? Yes, as much as I believed in the next ice age when I was a kid.
